Chris Scott, with the Political Insiders Report, spotted a clue on the group’s latest filing with the state, a filing that states Laura Paulson as treasurer.

“We found out that it was actually faxed by a company here, locally,” Scott said.

The fax came from Semaan Engineering Solutions in Elkhorn, where the I-Team found a Laura Paulson on the company’s voice mail. Company staff confirmed Paulson is an employee.

“This was the first time we found out if even Laura Paulson was real,” Scott said.

Paulson declined an interview, but said Semaan Engineering Solutions has nothing to do with the group. When asked why a Denver political group supports the alliance, she said the alliance is following all of Nebraska’s campaign finance rules.

The alliance could get in trouble with Nebraska’s Accountability and Disclosure Commission because it used a PO Box as a return address in the first three mailings. State law requires political mailings must have a physical address. The alliance has changed its return label to the UPS Store in northwest Omaha.
